Martina Šindlerová (born 29 June 1988), also known as Martina Schindlerova, is a Slovak singer. She participated in Slovensko hľadá SuperStar, the Slovak version of Pop Idol, shown by STV.
Biography Martina Šindlerová was born on 29 June 1988 in Bratislava. She started singing at the age of six but only gained wider recognition after finishing second in the first series of the Slovensko hľadá SuperStar show in 2005. Just a few months after the show ended, Šindlerová released her first album Patríme Spolu, recorded in Belgium. While the album was received poorly by the critics, it became the best selling album of the year and received a platinum record for selling over 20,000 CDs.
After graduating from high school, Šindlerová enrolled in law school at the Comenius University while continuing to pursue her musical career. In 2008, she released her second album Čo sa to tu deje and in 2010 she unsuccessfully competed for national nomination for the Eurovision Song Contest. Nonetheless, after starting a family, she gradually sidelined music and focused on raising a family. In 2021, she unsuccessfully attempted to restart her singing career and enrolled in a PhD program at the Comenius university, which she later abandoned.
Personal life Right after Slovensko hľadá SuperStar, Šindlerová started a relationship with TV executive and politician Branislav Záhradník. The relationship was controversial because Šindlerová was 16 years old at the time, while Záhradník was 31. They split after four years. In 2012, she married the businessman Kamil Haršány. They had two children – daughter Martina and son Kamil. In 2018 Haršány was arrested due to suspicions of mafia involvement and soon after Šindlerová applied for divorce, citing years of physical and mental abuse. In 2022, Šindlerová started a relationship with the lawyer Marcel Boris. They split their time between Bratislava and Dominican Republic.
